Twelve Days of Fandom

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day, whether you celebrate it or not. I hope this day is fun and filled with laughter and that you spend it surrounded by friends and family.

And to set you on your way, here is the Twelve Days of Fandom video (actually two videos, because apparently Youtube can't handle that much editing in one go). Thanks to everyone who took part — it has taken up two days of my life putting all this together, but it was so worth it. Some of you can really sing! And some of you really CAN'T. The videos I saw were funny, sweet, genuine, wacky, impressive, silly, and some of them were downright CUTE (Melissa and her doggy — I mean COME ON!)

The lyrics were written by myself and Laura Jordan (not Valkyrie-Laura, but an awesome Laura just the same!) and it features a special appearance by one Miss Holly Smale.

I love you. You're amazing. :( And whatever you used us for, I'm glad you did, because you're amazing.

I can't start crying here, so I'm going to stop talking now . . .

Also - FUCK MY LAPTOP. My brand new A7X CDs won't work in it. I'm getting accoustomed to dealing with this kind of problem, so now they're on my phone and on my laptop and Windows Media Player, but I want them on iTunes! :P

Hopefully, it won't quite take seven and a half hours to sort it out this time . . .

Oh if I'm in that video...one of them. I'm sitting with like a green backround and you can see a TMS poster I'm wearing red and yeah. I picked the most random spot in my room (actually next to my bookshelf because I have posters Derek would lecture me about if I hadn't)

And - MERRY! Good. :) People have said 'Happy Christmas' like three times today. SO annoying. In church, the person thingy said he hoped we'd all have a happy Christmas and me and my brother said 'Merry' in correction at exactly the same moment. XD

Ahaha, music. My brother just got an MP4 player and by the time we were walking to church, it had 118 tracks on it, courtesy of me. :) (Well, two came with the thing, but still).

I got it twice because I didn't have school the year KOTW came out we had gotout in June really early anf Derek came and talked....he got first one a page and dedicated to all our lost pets in hope they wouldn't come back as zombies and eat us

It's like our lives depend on it. Imagine the merriment represents an ice-cream cone, and we're all one unfortunate dude that hasn't had ice-cream in three years and he's literally going to implode if he doesn't get that ice-cream.

ALL IT NEEDS IS ONE SEED TO SEND THE WHOLE SEED MACHINE CRASHING DOWN ON TOP OF THE GRASSHOPPERS (my dad knows Hopper's whole speech off by heart, ohmygosh. I think he knows the whole script. THAT is how much we watched Bug's Life when I was a little little pittle.)

Caught here in a fiery blazeWon't lose my will to stayI tri-i-i-i-i-iedTo drive right through the nightThe heatstroke-ridden weatherThe barren empty sights

No oasisHere to seeThe sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn?(All alone)Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attractionMy confidence is leaving me on my own(All alone)No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I-I-I-I-I-IAdjust to my new sightsThe rarely tired lights Will take me to new heightsMy hand is on the triggerI'm ready to igniteTomorrow might not make itBut everything's all right

Mental fictionFollow meShow me what it's like to be set free

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn?(All alone)Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attractionMy confidence is leaving me on my own(All alone)No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not hereI've been sane so long, my vision's so unclearNow, take a trip with meBut don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blazeWon't lose my will to stayThese eyes won't see the sameAfter I flip today

Sometimes I don't know whyWe'd rather live than dieWe look up t'wards the skyFor answers to our livesWe may get some solutionsBut most just pass us byDon't want your absolutionsCoz I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myselfGets rid of all the pain of being a man . . .

Caught here in a fiery blazeWon't lose my will to stayI tri-i-i-i-i-iedTo drive right through the nightThe heatstroke-ridden weatherThe barren empty sights

So sorry you're not hereI've been sane too long, my vision's so unclearNow, take a trip with meBut don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem I've known it from the startAll these good ideas will tear your brain apartScared, but you, you follow meI'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU AND I SCREAMED AT MY MUM THAT IT WAS YOU AND THEN SHE SAID "How do you know?" AND I SAID "WELL, LOOK AT HER, SHE'S GORGEOUS OF COURSE IT'S MARA," BUT THEN I STARTED TO DOUBT MYSELF AND WOOOOOOO

@Mushroom: My brother has this really cool thing where you have this cube of needle things and when you impress something on it it makes SUCH A GOOD replica on the other side BUT ANYWAY he made the letter 'L' with his hand and I told him that L was the second-awesomest letter of the alphabet. :)

*laughs* Fairy nuff man.Yeah, they're full of gadgets and gizmos and cool stuff. The ones in Meadowhall have huge metal statue-y things outside them. xDWell... one of them does. I don't think the bigger one does anymore. :')

My mother makes me feel like shit. She does. I got her a bracelet and she pretends to like it and then she is om the phone with my sister complaining it was cheap. And then has the nerve to yell at me that mu bed isnt made with four fuckinh hours before people will be here and she complans im reading o mean wtf she has all the things she needs to do but im lazy for not wanting to make my bed 4hrs before people will arrive. She ruins Christmas she really does

@Zaf: :( *hugs* That sucks. You're only a teenager - how are you meant to get money to buy her a really expensive bracelet? Does it matter if it's cheap?And also - reading is really good for you. The fact that you want to read should be praised. :)
